PALM COAST — An 18-year-old Palm Coast teenager was caught in a vacant house on Pine Ash Lane with three juveniles, apparently taking an over-the-counter cold medication and smoking marijuana to get high, according to a Flagler County sheriff's report.

D'Marcus Anton Boyd was arrested Thursday night after he was found with three juveniles in a vacant house down the road from where he lives, the report states. Boyd was charged with burglary of a dwelling, contributing to the delinquency of a child and criminal mischief.

The property manager arrived at the house to check the status of work being done and reported a burglary in progress, the report states.

"Upon entering the residence, we could hear thumping and banging coming from the second story," wrote Deputy Jonathan Dopp. "It sounded as if someone were stomping on the floor or falling down upstairs."

Deputies went upstairs and found Boyd and three others, two boys and a girl, and ordered them to the ground and they were handcuffed without incident, according to the report.

"Several packages of Mucinex," a small plastic bag with marijuana seeds and a film canister with marijuana were found, as well as a pipe with marijuana residue, the report states.

One of the juveniles, whose names and ages are redacted from the report, told deputies that they would take large quantities of Mucinex to "feel light-headed," coupled with the effects of marijuana "it had a very calming effect."

Boyd told deputies they came through a sliding rear door that had been left unlocked.

In the kitchen, deputies found "bread slices, a bowl containing French fries, a bottle of ketchup and a bag of hamburger patties."

Boyd was booked into the Flagler County Inmate Facility and later released on $2,500 bail.
